Land acquisition for the project gives rise to issues such as adequate compensation, resettlement and its related implications, impacts on livelihood, and so on. The resettlement plan strives to avoid or minimize resettlement impacts by introducing feasible alternatives for the persons adversely affected by the project, especially in the context of land acquisition and resettlement. The acquisition of industrial land and privately owned land is to be minimized, with the project using state-owned lands to as large an extent as possible. In the acquisition of land where people conduct business, the property rights of the persons who are expected to be negatively affected by this acquisition, will be taken into consideration as well.
